Thanks for the advice. Silly me, I was overwhelmed that I didn't think about making copies for future reference.

Hi everyone, I need an urgent help with UK Standard Visitor Visa application for my family to attend my graduation in October. On the invitation the letter I am going to send to them, I need to state my immigration status (which has now changed). Here is the problem: I did my British Citizenship cer...

Reassuring and heart-warming to see how HO caseworker threw you a lifeline in this case.

Thanks for your help and encouragement.

Yes, they did.

I need more advice guys. I am a bit nervous right now, as I dont want to make another mistake. I am thinking of filling a new declaration form or should I change the date on the current form section 7? What do they meant by re-sign?

That is how I would interpret it too. I hope so too. The letter goes further to state that if I wish to re-sign and re-date the enclosed application form at section 7, they will be able to continue their reconsideration. This appears to be another proof that they are likely to continue from where t...

If you read the guidance (posted above) you will see how your application is now likely to be treated. Section 3.6 states the following "However, if re-declaration is only offered when the application has reached its turn for consideration, work should continue on the re-declared application&q...

Sounds like you've been given a lifeline. By re-signing and re-dating, they will see the date of the application as when they receive the new declaration. It's not the first time we've heard of this happening. Thanks for your contribution. So, does this means that I would have to wait for months be...

They have asked me to re-sign and re-date. How will this affect my application? Would that push my application to the back of the queue including doing another Biometric errollment?

Thanks for your reply. I was away for the whole of that period. So, they are right then?

I needed an urgent advice on my Naturalisation application. I made the application on the 29th of March after legally residing in the UK for more than 6 years (5 EEA 2 + 1 EEA4). I did my Biometric enrolment in May. To my surprise, I received a letter from the Home Office today stating that "A ...

Hi Guys, my wife received a letter from her caseworker few days that her application has been put on hold until my EEA 4 application is completed. To my delight, good news knock on my door this morning (MY PR HAS BEEN ISSUED). Thank you all for your support. Next step is to tell the caseworker that ...

More updates. The caseworker has now contacted my wife to confirm that her application is valid and her biometrics letter is on its way.

Hi Guys, I have some good news. I received an email from Free Movement Operational Policy Team today. They have confirmed to me that my wife's application can proceed and have also informed Temporary Migration Team of my right. They said my wife will be sent a letter soon to enrol for Biometrics. Th...

Whom are you inquiring about, yourself or someone else? Your explanation is not very clear, therefore it's difficult to help.

While, I'm satisfied with answers you all gave. But I want to ensure that other people are not been denied their rights. Therefore, I will like to see to it that their customer service advisor gives people the correct information.

Below is the email sent to me by the Home Office today. Dear Sir/Madam­ Thank you for your telephone enquiry.­ If you hold Permanent Residence under EE­A regulations, we would suggest contacti­ng the European Enquiries section on 030­0 123 2253 in the first instance, to see­ if your wife would be el...

In fact, I have requested for call a back from more expensive staff. This wrong perception needs to be sorted out. The man I spoke to two days ago said my wife can only apply if I have ILR. When I asked him to tell me any home office documents that says. He couldn't. I told him that what the guideli...

I have already sent her a letter explaining my right under EU law. There are two things I'm looking at. (1) She may have mistaken my PR card application for ILR application. (2) Or believe that my wife cannot make FLR (m) application under the UK immigration law if I obtained my settlement under EU ...

You're absolutely right. Earlier the better.

I agreed with you. The fees has gone up by £48 since we made the application.

That will be utterly crazy, as a person will be compelled to apply when they have valid leave.

This just put me at ease. Thanks to you all. My worries are gone. I'll update you guys about her reply.

There you go. I'm wrong then. My interpretation was that she cannot apply for a spouse visa unless she has more than 6 months left on her visa.
